Title: the chuck vs. silva fight...my thoughts on it
Post by: texasRUSH on July 14, 2006, 09:16:39 AM
chuck won't beat babalu...politics will win this fight....everyone wants to see chuck fight wandi...dana brought wandi in for ufc 61 to hype it up....and the reaction he got he's gonna want to capitalize on..

remember this thread when this shit goes down..i'm starting to wonder if politics and even more play more of a role in the ufc than once thought.

i hope and think it will happen, still they should've waited until after babalu before announcing it

i see Chuck knocking him out. Babalu will want to get revenge and may eventually lose composure, Chuck will capitalize on that and put him to sleep. Babalu is on a roll these days, i think hes 10-0 since losing to Chuck

Just my opinion

Chuck Lidell vs. Wanderler Silva? Silva stomped, literally stomped out Rampage Jackson twice. Jackson kicked Lidell's ass easily. Silva is gonna kill Lidell. He's one ruthless motha fuckka

Silva now is NOT the Silva from the old UFC.  He will kill Liddell.  And pretty much anyone else regardless of wt. class in the UFC.

But Chuck evolved as well, and he will use the cage to his advantage, besides, he's got some mean finger jabs  :)

Chuck is a cool fighter but Silva ??? OMG he is a machine! Chuck also gets slow runs out of gas and dosent use his cut kicks to the leg enough. Silva Has one big unending brutal offence.
If it came to a decision polatics would definitly come into play but I'm shure it will be a KO!

Chuck's style hasn't evolved at all, he is just slightly better at it.

Also how is the cage going to help Chuck?  All he does is use the cage to stand back up, do you honestly think Wandy is going to take him down?  I can see chuck trying to take wandy down, but if arona couldn't sub or gnp Silva Lidell most certainly wont.  That being said..

Chuck by eye poke KO 2nd round.

Seriously, who's going to get hyped up for a main event w/ Babalu now?  It's actually pretty disrespectful to him...

i agree, the whole organisation - from Dana White down - has dismissed his chances and looked right passed him. He knew fine that Silva was coming for 1 fight only and to build Babalu up and push him out the way like that is worth a fucking crack in the chops

I hope Zuffa's not too surprised when their buy rate drops w/ this PPV.

the UFC signed Silva for 3 fights.  Says so on his official website.

How much do you think wandy negotiated for per fight?  It's gotta be huge.

Well Royce Gracie got what..$400,000 to fight hughes ??.. I'm guess somewhere around $300k per fight.

Either way hes a Pride fighter plain and smiple. It doesnt matter how many fights he is officially signed for, babalu is the number 1 contender for the title and they have completely overlooked him as a formality. Now personally i think that fight IS a formality for Chuck, but the Organization should NEVER have done that to him

Babalu will get destroyed in the first round, he's no match for Lidell... this is like an appetizer to chuck.

Babalu is a tough mofo and will present a challenge to Chack.  I still see Chack winning.  In the UFC, the rules prohibit some of Wandy's best techniques.  Also, Chack uses the cage better than anyone.  This could be a great fight.  In Pride, Wandy by head stomp.  In the UFC, it could be anyone's game.
